beached

This is a commission piece. I pieced three photos together to compose this painting. One for each child and one with the boat. I think it is believable. The commissioner is giving it to her husband for an anniversary present. It is painted on an 8 x 10" gallery wrapped canvas.
I had to force some time to do this but I am glad I did. Hoping next week I will be painting regularly again. I still need several hours of organization to have my studio the way I would like it. It is pretty awesome painting by big windows that look out over "our" creek and woods.sold

I love your paintings of children on the beach. I was surprised that this is only an 8x10; with all the detail I would have guessed it was much larger... and that would be spectacular! I've also enjoyed the dogs and cattle too. We seem to like the same subjects for paintings!

About Me

Hi, I am Carol Morgan Carmichael and I live in Vestavia Hills, Alabama with my husband Dan.I have always loved drawing and have translated that into a love of oil painting after working with some great teachers.
I graduated from Birmingham Southern College with a degree in art education. I taught art at Homewood High School for four years and then retired to raise twin sons. Another son came along two years later.
My subject matter is all over the board. I enjoy painting still life, animals, figuratives, and beach scenes. I use oil paint because of its buttery consistency and forgiving nature. You can't beat the luminosity of the finished product.
I am definitely a work in progress. If you are interested in my work, contact me by e mail at carolcarmike@att.net.
